Chipotle cancels Boy Scout sponsorship over anti-gay policy
Chipotle Mexican Grill has announced that it will no longer sponsor a Boy Scout event in Utah because it does not agree with the BSA policy that bars LGBT people from participating in the organization.
“By way of follow up, we have terminated our sponsorship of this event,” wrote Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold in an email to ThinkProgress’s Josh Israel. “As I mentioned yesterday, community support decisions like this are made in a decentralized way and this one was inconsistent with our own policy. We believed that terminating the sponsorship and remaining consistent with our policy was the right thing to do, and we have reinforced our policy with the team that makes these decisions to try to prevent similar issues in the future.”
ThinkProgress notes that the decision puts the restaurant chain back in accordance with its own corporate charitable giving policy, which mandates that the company “not support organizations that discriminate against a person or a group on the basis of age, political affiliation, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religious belief.”
Eat Chipotle! It really is food with integrity.
